Bruce Jenner Interview

sarawifenow · April 2015

I hadn't seen anyone mention this yet. Is anyone watching the interview tonight? What do you think about this? Personally, I couldn't care less what Bruce does/doesn't do. I think that as long as he is happy, then he should continue on whatever path he is taking.

Here is a little info about it http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/bruce-jenner-talks-diane-sawyer-interview-30523101

VulgarGirl · April 2015

I'm interested because I want to see how they handle it.

I don't personally care about Bruce Jenner, but I do care about trans people being shown as being normal. Bruce Jenner was an athlete. He married a few women, fathered children. He is, mostly, a regular guy. At least I think more people can relate to him then to what they stereotype MTF trans people as.

Rockets vs Mavs game 3 is on ... Bruce who?

Maggie0829 · April 2015

I will probably watch it, but 2 hours? Really? I know they are going to drag out the "are you transitioning to a woman" question out until probably the last 30 minutes.

I am kind of interested to hear what he has to say. For some reason I am weirdly overly interested in the Jenner/Kardashian family. And even though I don't care what he does or if he wants to turn himself into a unicorn it will be nice to actually hear him for once instead of him being overshadowed and talked over by his family.

All I care about this is whether of not is another publicity shitshow orchestrated but Chris Jenner "I'll pimp out my whole family for a shadow in the limelight" Kardashian. If this is all just an elaborate rouge, I will lose my shit. If he is for real and it sheds some much needed light on trans issues and helps people better understand what is to be trans and furthers tolerance and acceptance, then I will be very grateful.

southernbelle0915 · April 2015

I don't give a shit about Bruce Jenner. If he wants to transition, cool. If he doesn't, cool. Whatever.

I feel like this whole hype is more about happenings related to the Kardashians than it is about a guy who may or may not transition. I kind of feel bad for the guy.

banana468 · April 2015

I kind of want to see it because of all the hysteria but I think what DH and I will wind up doing is catching up on Parenthood on Netflix and then I'll watch the good clips tomorrow. Two hours for this is just too fucking long unless they're filming the surgery too.

THIS THIS THIS. I really hope this is not the case.

tcnoble · April 2015

I have the DVR set to record it in case we are out when it airs...

I'm just curious in general. What if he shows up to the interview as manly man Bruce Jenner and this was all publicity?

Apparently Kris is really concerned about the interview and what may be revealed about their marriage.

I have an odd fascination with the Kardashians so yeah I'm looking forward to watching it.

I just finished the series a week ago. I was devastated that it ended. I was so attached to all of them. Crosby is my favorite!

knottie9c5ed33df4bbd226 · April 2015

I set a DVR recording for it; I am fascinated by all things Kardashian/Jenner and I hate myself for it. From the promos though, I feel like they might do a bait and switch.

I finished it a few weeks ago and I still have all the feels from it. I haven't cried so much when a show ended as I did with Parenthood. I didn't want it to be over!

MairePoppy · April 2015

I love trashy reality TV, but the Kardashians and Bruce Jenner don't interest me. I probably won't watch the interview.

Then I'm making the right choice! I heart Crosby and so far I'm also loving Adam just becaues he reminds me of some of the favorite men in my life.

I don't think this is a stunt or else Diane Sawyer would be losing all credibility here.

This. I only watch the Kardashians while I'm on the treadmill at the gym (why are all of the other channels sports?), and the last episode I saw had Kim going over to his house to try and convince him that she should be taking care of his finances. Bitch, please. Don't act like you're some financial guru. You have a whole army of marketers and accountants/financial advisors doing all of this shit for you.

huskypuppy14 · April 2015

I plan to watch. Ditto what everyone else said.

daria24 · April 2015

I've never been remotely interested in the Kardashians, but I am curious about the interview. Having someone who was the poster child of athletic prowess and masculinity (in the 1980s) come out now and talk about being trans could be amazing for the trans community. But it could also enhance the 'freak show' aspect and make it even worse.

I do feel bad for Bruce, if he is in fact transitioning or just dealing with gender fluidity. I can't imagine how depressing and stressful it must be to have magazine covers questioning your gender/medical procedures, etc.

lyndausvi · April 2015

I'm watching the Love Boat right now and he is on. Ha.

It's just kind of weird to think of his as a woman. I saw him win the Olympics. I saw him on Chips. I've 'known" him as a man for so long it's going to take time to get use to him as a woman.

That said, Just because it's weird for me to see him that way doesn't mean I don't support his choice. If this is what he wants to do, good for him.

I do feel sorry for him due to all the press, but at the same time I don't because he put himself out there in the first place by being on the Karshdashians. I doubt I will see the interview.

jenna8984 · April 2015

I am watching. I am not interested in Kardashian type stuff but to me this has nothing to do with that.

kvruns · April 2015

Flipping back and forth but keep catching commercials, didn't really see him say much

LabLove86 · April 2015

A woman in a closed group that I'm in on FB made a post about how you can't "dress in woman's clothing and be interested in women at the same time" - I was getting ready to respond when I saw that others in the group had taken care of that already.

It just sucks that there is still so much confusion/judgement about sexual identity, gender identity, really any personal life choices - and why people feel the need to make it their business.

MJKlover · April 2015

I watched some of it and was brought to tears. That must have been so difficult for her.

really? You can't?

Pretty sure lesbians prove that comment to be wrong.

My SIL's nephew likes to dress in women's clothes. He makes the most amazing costumes and dresses. He made a Belle dress to wear at his prom that is simply amazing. But he doesn't have a desire to become a woman.

It's been a while since I've seen him and not sure who he is sexually attracted to. I think I heard he was Pansexual, but I don't know for sure? Regardless he has always been able to express himself freely (he is only 20).

BTW - he comes from a big ole Catholic family on mom's side. Dad's side is Japanese. His family has always been supportive of his choices.

Oh yeah - this woman had over 20 comments on her post and she had just posted it maybe 5 minutes previously or so? With varying viewpoints and degrees of niceties . . . I am sure it will end up being a huge thing

I am glad your SIL nephew has the support to be able to be who he is - thats awesome.

themosthappy91 · April 2015

Is anyone else watching and full on sobbing? Just me?

I see that Bruce has elected to stick with male pronouns for now, despite identifying as a women, so I'm respecting that when I say I am literally so moved by his bravery and his struggle and I think going public with this like he is will be amazing for the trans community. So proud of him.

themuffinman16 · April 2015

I saw a friend of mine, post on fb about Bruce Jenner. She said "From the Olympics to the circus." I unfriended her. I can't believe anyone I know could be so cruel. I am sure the decision to transition is not an easy one... especially in the spotlight. I know the Kardsashians are all about attention, but Bruce always seemed to be uncomfortable under the microscope. I think his wanting to transition is genuine. Nobody would chose the attention they get from this to boost their ratings. I am sure Bruce gets death threats every day. I really feel for him.

littlepep · April 2015

I honestly feel bad that there is so much hatred and confusion about this. What Bruce is going through it so personal but he is sharing it so publicly and I have so much respect for him. It's an important message for people to see

lyndausvi · April 2015

His mom just made me cry

climbingsingle · April 2015

I watched and I cried. What he did was incredibly brave. And it's wonderful to see what supportive family he has around him.

jenna8984 · April 2015

Yup I cried too. Especially when he was going to doctors appointments and was being heckled and taunted by the paparazzi. Fine he's famous, take his picture, but there is no need to make cruel remarks. I honestly don't know anyone transgender in my life and it did open my eyes to how hard it must be.

NowIAmSyp · April 2015

I loved that interview- he was so honest and truthful to his story- and brave. I'm glad I watched! I look forward to seeing him (sticking with male pronouns for now, since he is) after the transition- it will be great to see him happy... and free.
